1706 The Emperor's Mind 2

Therefore, under the influence of the dual idea of ​​worrying about Bavaria's revenge and unwilling to make wedding clothes for others, a large number of people represented by Xiao Moltke were unwilling to intervene in this matter. Moreover, Xiao Moltke had a vague feeling that if this matter continued, it would probably lead to some very bad results! Because Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were too close, and Prussia had lost the ability to use the ultimate means against Bavaria!

Of course, Xiao Moltke would not say this to the German Emperor at this time, because this is more of his feelings and no evidence. Moreover, in his opinion, the conflict between the two sides is not far from this level!

"If there is nothing else, you can take it back first." The German Emperor said a little stiffly. After Moltke left, William II took out a copy of the documents from a stack of documents and opened them to take a closer look.

When the Western Front entered a calm period, the German Emperor, who was idle, began to consider the future internal affairs between Germany and Austria. No matter what, as an existence that could instantly eliminate Bismarck in history, William II's political skills were definitely two-fold. Judging from the information collected at present, if nothing unexpected happens, the Austro-Hungarian dual Empire will soon become a past tense. With Austria as the core, the Austrian Empire consisting of many small states and autonomous lords is gradually forming. Some ethnic, political and superstructure issues that once restricted the development of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will disappear. This European empire will regain its vitality!

Well, in the future, what is the relationship between Germany or Prussia and Austria? Why is it Prussia rather than Germany? Nonsense, the future king of Bavaria is the son-in-law of Emperor Ao! The German Emperor really admires Emperor Ao, a guy who has been in power since 1848. Maybe it is really average to govern the country and farm, and it is also a rookie in war, but the Habsburg dynasty's nepotism that dominated Europe for hundreds of years was so sloppy! Madan, the Vettelsbach family and the Habsburg family intermarried for three generations in a row! Originally, an empire that was so in a tumultuous turn of the battle, where is that reasonable?!

This time, the German Emperor finally understood what blood is thicker than water... After the assassination of Grand Duke Ferdinand and now that Carl is not strong, the Austrian Emperor is trying his best to maintain a special relationship with Bavaria. It can be foreseeable that no matter who comes to power in the future, the Bavarian side must not object, and the cooperative relationship between Austria and Bavaria will be the premise of political correctness between the two countries. Therefore, the German Emperor has realized that it is unlikely to restrict Bavaria with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, this matter must be done by Prussia.

And now, there seems to be a chance?! Just a few days ago, Prime Minister Holvig mentioned something, that is, a proposal was made within the parliament, suggesting that Russian Poland had established a kingdom and then subordinate to the German system. To be clear, it is to turn the four kingdoms in Germany into five!

Of course, this proposal certainly does not include the part that the Austro-Hungarian Empire split, but only the part obtained by Prussia and Bavaria in Germany. According to the previous agreement, Russian Poland with an area of ​​120,000 square kilometers will be divided into three points of equal size, one for each Prussia, Bavaria and Austria. If Prussia and Bavaria should be merged into one, then Poland with an area of ​​more than 80,000 square kilometers can indeed be called a kingdom within the German system, and the area of ​​this kingdom is even slightly larger than the original Bavaria!

There is no doubt that in addition to taking care of the ideas of some Poles, the person who proposed this plan was more focused on Bavaria. This is holding on. If I can't get it, you don't want to do it with enlightenment. This seems to be a way to kill a thousand enemies and harm yourself by 800. But in fact, this is not the case, because no matter what, William II is the emperor of Germany after all, and the king of the Polish king must be recognized by the German king. The German emperor can even arrange his own relatives or royal nobles to serve as kings! As for whether he can suppress it? Obviously, it is OK!

Even if the Kingdom of Poland is not needed, Prussia can also include the three Baltic countries and some territories of Belarus and Russia in the future. The area soaring by 200,000 square kilometers is not a big problem. It may not be able to suppress the expansion of Bavaria, Bohemia and Moravia after the expansion, but a small Poland is really no problem!

Moreover, the best thing about this plan is to control the degree! It is the kind of cutting off a piece of meat from the other party. Although it makes Ruprecht feel hurt, it will not go crazy! After all, without Poland, Bavaria can still gain great benefits from Belarus and Ukraine. This is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife and boiling a frog in warm water. It comes a little bit.

Of course, the people who put forward this opinion did consider it to stabilize the emotions of the Poles. History has great inertia. For example, now, although the Poles hate the oppression and massacre of the Russians, the tendency of independence in their bones is not so easy to erase. They hate the Russians, but at the same time they have no good feelings for the Germans. Not to mention the Russian Polish region, even if it was earlier, the Polish region, which had been incorporated into East Prussia, still had an independent tendency. Therefore, in history, the Allies planned to make a puppet king to rule, and this plane is still the same. It can be said that it is in line with each other.

As for the lack of administrative resistance, the German Emperor considered that the resistance was not very large. This opinion was proposed by the two political parties of the Imperial Parliament. Surprisingly, this time, Albert's right-wing of the Social Democratic Party did not make any statement, but did not make a statement, and it should have been acquiesced. Well, as long as Prime Minister Holwig does not hinder, the probability of this proposal being passed in the Imperial Parliament is very high.

What about the Federal Parliament? Everyone is not stupid. It can be seen that this is a fight between gods and a conflict between Prussia and Bavaria. Although the Federal Parliament requires that a three-quarters absolute majority be passed, that is, Bavaria can stop it as long as it can get 17 votes. (The total number of votes is 52 votes), but Bavaria itself only has 6 votes. There are 11 votes, and Moltke and others are afraid of fighting against gods. So, are Saxony and Württemberg willing to get involved in this matter? They may not support Prussia and should abstain. In this way, Bavaria will definitely not be able to reject this proposal.
